When they left Tajima Uchiha's room, it was already early morning.
This old man, who had been the leader of the Uchiha clan for decades, had died silently on such an ordinary night.
Mirai Uchiha felt a bit of emotion. Human life was certainly short and fragile. It was no wonder that Orochimaru was so obsessed with immortality...
Mirai Uchiha held no resentment towards Tajima Uchiha.
Although he was Fugaku Uchiha's father, his way of doing things was completely opposite.
Before he became strong, he had also taken great care of him.
The fact that the Uchiha clan could have its current strength under the oppression of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura was largely due to him.
However, Mirai Uchiha did not agree with his last words.
He could in no way support Fugaku Uchiha.
After so much contact, Mirai Uchiha already knew Fugaku Uchiha quite well.
Although he was indecisive and weak in character, deep down he was extremely stubborn.
Mirai Uchiha didn't believe he would give in and accept his ideas.
This point had already been verified the day he went to support the Mist Village front.
Tajima Uchiha still hadn't understood.
The problem of the Uchiha clan's future was not something that could be solved with compromises and mutual concessions.
It was a life-or-death struggle!
If Fugaku Uchiha continued to oppose him, he would have no choice but to eliminate him personally.
Just as Mirai Uchiha was thinking, a group of Uchiha clan members came out of the room.
Inabi Uchiha quickly approached Mirai Uchiha and smiled: "Lord Mirai, congratulations. From now on, you are our boss."
Yashiro Uchiha also came over: "It is a great honor to be able to work under your command."
"We trust that in your hands, our clan will be able to restore its former glory."
Tekka Uchiha said excitedly: "Lord Mirai, let's find a time to treat you to a meal."
Mirai Uchiha nodded in agreement: "Then, it's a date. Next time's on me."
On the Mist Village battlefield, Tekka Uchiha, Yashiro Uchiha, and Inabi Uchiha had firmly taken his side.
Mirai Uchiha was not opposed to having a little more contact with such subordinates.
When they left, an old man with a hunched figure stood in Mirai Uchiha's way: "Captain Mirai, would you be interested in coming to my house for a while?"
Looking at the old man, Mirai Uchiha nodded.
Fenyan Uchiha, the most representative elder of the hawk faction of the Uchiha clan.
Besides his tough style, there was another reason why Mirai Uchiha remembered him.
He was Izumi Uchiha's grandfather.
————
In the dark room, there was only one kerosene lamp.
Fenyan Uchiha placed a cup of tea for Mirai Uchiha and slowly sat down in front of him.
"When you get old and there's no one at home, a kerosene lamp feels warmer than a light bulb."
Fenyan Uchiha explained first, and then sighed: "If I had known, I shouldn't have allowed Hazuki to marry an outsider. Now I barely see her a couple of times a year."
"When you get old, living alone is very lonely."
At this, Mirai Uchiha made no comment.
From what he knew, Fenyan Uchiha's daughter, that is, Hazuki Uchiha, had not married a member of the Uchiha clan, but a common ninja from the village, and had given birth to Izumi Uchiha.
Since the husband was not from the Uchiha clan, the family lived outside the clan district.
Although the distance was not very great, for some reason, Hazuki Uchiha rarely returned to the district.
However, Mirai Uchiha was not very interested in this kind of family problem, and said directly: "Elder Fenyan, you didn't call me just to complain, did you?"
Fenyan Uchiha smiled sheepishly: "When you get old, sometimes you like to ramble on about nonsense."
"Actually, I called you this time just to give you a reminder."
"In the future, it's better that you use the Mangekyō Sharingan less."
Mirai Uchiha lowered his head, drank a sip of tea, and said indifferently: "What do you mean?"
"Of course, to preserve your strength!"
"You should know it too. The more the Mangekyō Sharingan is used, the faster one loses their sight."
Fenyan Uchiha looked at Mirai Uchiha with shining eyes. "If you can guarantee that your Mangekyō Sharingan won't lose its sight, then with your current prestige, when the Third Hokage decides to step down, you'll have a great chance of winning if you run for the next Hokage!"
"And by then, I will contact the clan elders to support you with all our strength, even if it's necessary to use force. With the power of the Uchiha clan, we will definitely be able to..."
Thump!
The teacup hit the table with a dull sound, interrupting Fenyan Uchiha's fantasies.
Mirai Uchiha gently tapped the table with his fingers, producing a rhythmic sound: "As an elder of the hawk faction of the Uchiha clan, is that all the ambition you have?"
Hearing Mirai Uchiha's seemingly disappointed tone, Fenyan Uchiha froze, not understanding: "What do you mean?"
"Why do we have to place our hopes on something we don't know when will happen?"
"Wait for Hiruzen Sarutobi to step down?" Mirai Uchiha snorted. "Who knows how much longer that old man will stay in the position of Hokage?"
"If we want to compete for the position of Hokage, wouldn't it be easier to overthrow Hiruzen Sarutobi?"
"It is precisely this practice of repeatedly placing hopes in the future that has led the Uchiha clan to its current situation."
Hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Fenyan Uchiha's mouth went dry: "Overthrow the Third Hokage?"
"B-but..."
Mirai Uchiha interrupted Fenyan Uchiha impatiently and stood up: "Elder Fenyan, you are too conservative. In the future, you don't need to worry about these matters. Enjoy your old age."
Seeing Mirai Uchiha preparing to leave, Fenyan Uchiha gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Don't you need the clan members to do anything for you?"
"Money? People? Training resources?"
"At least I can give you some advice!"
Mirai Uchiha waved his hand without looking back: "My decisions do not need the participation of others. Everyone just needs to obey my orders."
Fenyan Uchiha watched Mirai Uchiha leave and took a long time to react.
He originally thought he was already quite radical, but after hearing Mirai Uchiha's ideas, he realized how harmless he was.
If you want to be Hokage, then overthrow the Third...
Even now, thinking about that sentence, he couldn't help his heart from racing.
Suddenly, Fenyan Uchiha seemed to understand a little why Mirai Uchiha had been able to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan at such a young age.
Much later, Fenyan Uchiha couldn't help but murmur under his breath: "Leader Tajima was too soft. If he knew Fugaku Uchiha's character, he shouldn't have named him leader of the clan."
"That guy, Mirai, is so insane... I'm afraid the boy Fugaku has no escape..."
